I loved it!! Somehow I love Dominic but some part of me just can't forgive him... But I love his character development and I am so happy because we had quite a few scenes with characters from the other books (Jules&Josh,Vivian&Dante,Kai&Isabella) and I love that they have babies and I need more baby scenes I need to see more of Josephine/Josie♡♡♡ And the dark element with Roman. It was so good I think I fell in love with Roman♡♡♡

Another good installment in the Kings of Sin series. I thought this second chance romance was done well. I do wish there was a little more groveling. Also if a girl says she needs some space she needs SPACE. This book did pull on the heart strings. 

I thought the flashbacks to their relationship over the years was done well. The moments weren't long where you got bored but snippets to get to the point.

Overall I enjoyed the book while reading it, but theres just so much weird stuff going on.

I just hoped Domenik would have to put more effort into getting her back, while that just doesn't seem to be the case.
Like you fucked up and neglegted your wife for several years and boom, after a few flowers, a little bit of saying shit he didn't mean (or just idk) and flying after her to brazil - wich is defenentely not creepy at all (note the sarcasm) fucking stalker - they are back together.
Which doesn't mean that i didn't like him, wich I surprisingly from time to time did, I just wanted him to grovel like hell or something. It just felt like he didn't have to put in any effort at all. If what he thought would have become reality in the book he would have been a way better character. (His thoughts were also probably the only thing that made me like him)

Allesandra on the other hand, I kind of liked more continuously though the book. I liked that she started to do her own thing and trying to heal.
What I didn't like is that she didn't give Dom the chance to talk to her again after she moved out. I have no problem with the fact that she did that and that she served him the divorce papers, because i think that is what really got through to him and what made him realized he fucked up (kind of bad that he didn't before but ok). But  she just could have let him speak to her atleast, like wtf. That they were divorced thoughout the whole book I feel like could have been easily avoided,
and then it also would have been marriage in crises like how it was advertised everywhere. 

Also what was that date thing with
Aiden
? That was so unnecessary.

Additional to that the smut was so weird. Like why was that happening in a
bar bathroom and why was that like the day before he signed the papers.
like whyyy.
And in a later part of the book he was like 'what do you want me to do' (in really deep dark und manly voice) kind of , so he asked her but in the end it was still that he had the full power, AGAIN. Why did you ask if it's not even gonna lead to anything. Then the scene in the library, like why did Ana have to drag Kai and Isabella into this.
Lets just say it could have been such a good slowburn but that got fucked up real quick. 

I don't think we even have to dicuss the end.
Because why did they think it was a good idea to bring that Bank plot in there and why with the brother?
They tried to make this a dark romance vibe in the end and it was horrible.

The book had potential but the incompetence was just sooo big, i couldn't deal with it.

I had hopes that i would like this book, like I liked King of Pride, but i ended up developing feelings more similar to the ones I developed for king of Wrath. (non bueno)

I just hope king of sloth will be a less bad execution of a try of dark romance and a less stereotypical bilionare romance but a little bit more of just... good.

The tropes and the setting of Alessanda and Dominic’s story were not really my cup of tea, but I still enjoyed the book a lot

Ana Huang truly knows how to build an addicting world, create characters you’re thirsting to know more about and write good romance with hot spice 🌶️

Can’t WAIT for April, King of Sloth and Sloane & Xavier

(Also… I really hope Roman gets a book 😮‍💨🤭)
